Chapter 652 Add a Cover
The sunlight focused into a huge spot of light, which moved slowly in the forest, and the flames continued to advance as the light moved. There were powerful soul beasts who wanted to stop this advancement, and they tried to use their own means to protect the forest. For example, a 100,000-year-old earth-attributed soul beast came to the scene.
Such a large-scale fire in the forest also made those top soul beasts who didn't take action much participate in this confrontation, and his action was also very effective. As long as the light could be blocked from directly shining on the ground, the forest could be protected to a considerable extent.
Under the strong light, if you want to avoid the scorching light and cause damage to yourself, the best way is to find a shade to hide.
Although these lights are powerful, they are only sunlight after all. They can generate high temperatures when focused together, but if they are blocked by a thick enough layer of soil, they can't penetrate directly, and can only heat the soil first.
Moreover, it takes a long time to heat a large amount of soil and rocks to a melting state and a collapsed state. As long as such a barrier is created, the forest under the barrier can be protected.
As the 100,000-year-old soul beast of the earth attribute took action, a mountain rose above the earth. The peak was like a bamboo shoot, growing higher and higher. After reaching a height of hundreds of meters, it spread outward from the top of the peak in all directions, like a mushroom spreading its umbrella.
This was already the limit of what this soul beast could do. It took him a whole day to manipulate the soil to create such a huge umbrella. After all, if this level of ability could be used casually, when he fought against the enemy, he could summon a pancake with a diameter of thousands of meters and smash it from a height of hundreds of meters. Even if the opponent was a 100,000-year-old soul beast, he would be killed instantly.
This kind of mass fell from the sky and smashed down, even to the top powerhouses in this world, it could cause a devastating blow, so this skill must not be released instantly.
And his preparation was indeed effective. When the light passed by his position, it could not burn through this layer of soil. Although it was burned enough to make stone pot barbecue, the temperature on the ground still remained relatively low. In this shadow area, although the flames will also spread, the water-attributed soul beasts gathered here and continuously sprayed water to cool down, or used ice to cool down the area around the forest, so that the flames did not spread. When the forest outside was almost burned, there would be no more flames invading these areas.
The earth-attributed soul beast felt quite proud. His strength prevented the light from shining, and it could continue to protect this area. The light did not consume energy, and after he built this layer of barrier, he almost did not consume energy.
Although for various reasons, his barrier may not be particularly strong and he needs to come to maintain it from time to time, but if he continues to consume the sunlight, he is also confident that he can hold on.
This means that his strategy is effective and can successfully block the invasion of sunlight. In this way, the forest is saved, but soon he finds that he is facing another problem, that is, the forest blocked by his shadow can no longer receive sunlight.
There will not be too big a problem in the short term, but if it goes on for a long time, the plants here will wither, and there will be no difference from being burned by the enemy.
However, as long as he can delay the burning of the forest by the sun, such a forest area is worth it.
Obviously, the brain of the earth attribute soul beast that chose to implement this tactic is not very good. He sacrificed this forest and would not let the light be delayed here. It is very easy to change the focus position of the light. Just slightly adjust the angle of the mirrors in space. The focus point of the light does not have to move slowly. If you want to move at high speed, the speed of movement can even exceed the speed of light.
Yes, it is superluminal. The speed of light movement is not the speed of light, but the speed of sight movement. And the speed of sight movement can be super-fast. Because this thing is not a physical entity, there is not even a photon.
You can look at a star in the last second. In the next second, you can look at another star hundreds of light years away from him, and your sight movement in this process is superluminal, but this has no physical effect on the world. The same is true for the focus position of the light. It is discontinuous in itself. It is understandable that such a discontinuous thing can exceed the speed of light.
In other words, just now he was just wasting his power to cooperate with the performance of the earth attribute soul beast. After it built the barrier, the position where the light focused instantly jumped outside the barrier he built. The raging fire continued to burn.
The earth attribute soul beast wanted to continue to build another barrier. However, he had just built another barrier and was almost exhausted. As a result, he found that the light had already left his position and burned other forests.
Even if he could repeat this action every day regardless of everything and cover the entire forest with shadows, the effect was actually very limited.
In order to ensure that these shadows can be built quickly enough, the soil barrier it built was not very thick, at most one or two meters thick, and the number of supporting structures was also very limited.
In this case, such a structure is actually quite fragile. Humans only need to use catapults to throw a few explosives on it. It can cause a large-scale collapse.
At that time, there is no need to burn the forest. The huge rocks that fall down are enough to cause huge damage to the forest and break countless huge trees below.
After the opponent completed the construction, the human side also decisively tried to attack.
And the effect of their attack was quite good. A soul master who was good at making explosions and the big mouth merged with the watermelon pitcher to throw a large number of throwing explosives, and carried out a covering bombing on these huge lids.
The mushroom-like lids were not very strong. They broke into pieces during the covering bombing and then fell into the forest below. Large areas of trees were broken and fell.
The earth attribute soul beast had no way to stop the burning. There were other soul beasts in the forest trying to find a way. Among them, another diamond soul beast participated in the battlefield.
It is actually a variant of earth attribute. Originally, its development direction should be towards strong defense, but he chose to develop towards the direction of illusion. Relying on his ability to create a large number of diamond-like mirrors, he could make the enemy fall into an illusion and unable to find his true self.
And his idea was very simple. As long as his control speed was fast enough, he could catch the light in the sky in mid-air, and then reflect the light to cause damage to the human army.
In turn, using the enemy's weapons was the strategy he thought of.
Reflecting the strong light focused in the sky is indeed a feasible counterattack strategy. In the process of further forest burning by humans, there were suddenly many mirrors in the sky. These mirrors were combined together to form a huge mirror, and then the huge mirror was tilted at an angle of nearly 45 degrees.
According to the soul beast's understanding of light, the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. The mirror at this angle should be able to reflect the light focused in the sky to the direction of humans, causing a lot of damage.
For this sudden move of humans, this side was indeed a bit unprepared, and there was not even time to move the light away in time.
But the result was different from what the diamond soul beast had imagined. The light was indeed reflected, but it did not cause the imagined large-scale casualties.
The light reflected by him did not spread out, and it scattered as far as it could go. It was like the light released from a light bulb, and it would not be focused on a line like the light released from a laser pen.
"Why is this so?" With limited knowledge of optics, he did not realize that the light in the sky was focused, and it was reflected from satellites in space from different positions in the earth's orbit.
If we have to make an analogy for these lights, it is a bit like focusing the light through a magnifying glass. Put a mirror at the focus of the magnifying glass, and the light will indeed be reflected, but the reflected light is also scattered. It is already at the focus, so it is naturally impossible to focus. If you want to focus the reflected light, you must cut off the light in the sky at a higher altitude, and then control its focus. Only through complex calculations can you find the correct position of the focus, so that you can complete the concentrated fire on your target.
Not only that, the light descending from the sky is not simply like the effect of focusing a magnifying glass. The positions of those satellites in the sky are uncertain. That is to say, it is necessary to understand the trajectory of each beam of light in the sky in order to complete the calculation and focus the reflected light at the correct position through different mirrors.
The problem is that soul beasts cannot know the distribution of satellites in space. Even if they know, they cannot calculate it. Perhaps the soul beasts have sufficient computing power, but to calculate such a reflection point, a lot of mathematical knowledge is needed. Soul beasts living in the forest all year round, although they have an IQ similar to that of humans, their brains are not often used. They will not take the initiative to learn complex and useless things such as mathematics. At least for their survival in the forest, mathematics is of no use at all.
This also leads to that even if the mental power is huge and the computing power is sufficient. They have no way to calculate the trajectory of the light and complete the correct reflection.
And a moment after the mirror was formed, the humans who were blinded by the strong light also launched a counterattack. Although the light was released in a scattered manner, it was still like being dazzled by the high beam, which was really uncomfortable.
A large number of long-range attacks flew over, and the mirrors in the sky were blown into pieces. Compared with the dome made of rocks, these thin mirrors in the air are easier to build but also more fragile. Any explosion can blow them into pieces.
The light refocused on the ground, and the forest was still burning rapidly. Under the continuous advancement, there was no way to stop it.
Many soul beasts thought of countless ways and finally found a way to barely solve the problem. Hundreds of wind-attribute soul beasts united together, and cooperated with a large number of water-attribute soul beasts. There were even fire-attribute soul beasts involved, making a lot of water. Then the water was made into steam, and the oil-sealed soul beasts drove the steam to move in the sky to form a huge controllable cloud layer, pushing these clouds to cover the sky above the forest. In this way, the light can finally be isolated to a considerable extent.
Under the push of the wind-attributed soul beast, the speed of these thick fogs moving is much faster than the barriers built by the earth-attributed soul beasts. It is also much easier to dismantle than the things built by the earth-attributed soul beasts.
It is most suitable for blocking light, but the clouds in the sky will also block the sunlight. If the clouds are released to let the sunlight in, the strong light will instantly capture the gap and enter together. Only then did they realize how fast these lights moved, and they could reach the gap they built almost instantly.
Unless they keep the forest in a state of overcast clouds, otherwise, the fire will continue to spread in the forest.
And if this overcast state is maintained, not only will it be difficult for plants to photosynthesize, but many animals will also find it difficult to survive in this environment.
Covered by fog all year round, the environment inside the forest will continue to become worse, and many plants will rot in the process. The final effect is actually not much different from being set on fire. At most, this can prolong their survival for a longer time and delay the time of their own destruction.
And this is just the beginning. Humans have already taken a large number of plants that can use magma and continue to set fire to the edge of the forest.
Especially those who were holding a flower pot with a big mushroom growing in it, each of them seemed to be holding a powerful focused flamethrower. And compared to ordinary flamethrowers, the flames sprayed out would stick to the enemy and continue to burn.
Large tracts of forest were stained with sticky magma, and it would not be possible to put out the fire with water in a short time. Sometimes, even if it was mixed with water, the burning would not stop.
Under the cloudy environment, the edge of the forest was still being eaten by humans bit by bit. A large number of powerful soul beasts all paid their best to maintain the dark cloud covering the entire forest, so that the top soul beasts did not even have time to attack the humans who set fire to the surrounding area.
